My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...

I have strived to create a practice environment that is unhurried, friendly and comfortable where my patients feel welcome and never rushed. My practice style has always been to try to provide comprehensive medical care to my patients by listening to all of their concerns while demonstrating compassion and patience. Ten years ago, the US healthcare system was declared "broken" and it has not improved. Fixes that are needed have not materialized. Premiums are increasing and the hassles for both patients and physicians keep rising. We all know how medicine should be. I invite you to see how medicine can be and is being practiced everyday at my office.

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Monaco

from Robert in KS February 12, 2024 for Michael E. Monaco, MD

It is with great pleasure to have the opportunity to say a few words about my Primary Physician, Dr. Michael Monaco. This is my 45th year in the professional sports business and have met hundreds of Doctors, Trainers, PC's, but to date, I have never met anyone who has the complete package of skills as Dr. Michael Monaco. Dr. Monaco has been my primary physician for nearly twenty years. I was… See more

from Kathleen in KS February 11, 2024 for Michael E. Monaco, MD

in 2014 my elderly neighbor was not only ill, but in a terrible predicament. Her second husband, whom she had been married to for 25 years, had been diagnosed with Alzheimer recently. Dr. Monaco, had helped her to get him admitted to a really nice Long Term Care Facility nearby. Unfortunately, due to this being a second marriage, his children didn't agree with this. So, they removed… See more

from Mary Ann in KS February 11, 2024 for Michael E. Monaco, MD

I have been with Dr Monaco for almost 30 yrs. He is the type of Dr who not only cares about all facets of your health but you personally. I wouldn’t be were I am health wise without him.

After this many years we are friends as well and I value my friendship with Dr Monaco as well.

He is the best overall Dr and I feel privileged to have him as my Physician!

from Diane in KS February 11, 2024 for Michael E. Monaco, MD

I don’t think there are enough stars to rate our doctor. 🧑‍⚕️ He’s such a great man as well as a wonderful doctor. He always has time for my husband and I. I’ve called him in the wee hours of the night for help. He never is impatient, he listens to us and has found a 24 hour pharmacy when we needed it. He keeps up with the latest medical advances as well which just proves he’s very… See more

from Diane in KS January 18, 2024 for Michael E. Monaco, MD

Dr. Michael Monaco was our physician before he joined MDVIP. He has always been there when we need him. He was there when I contracted COVID in August 2020. I really love that I can text or call him anytime and he responds right away. Dr. Monaco talks to me as a patient and a friend. He is never too rushed to have a conversation.

I am blessed {and always have been} in so many ways that I cannot count them all. Having access to great medical care is one of those blessings. Quality health insurance through my employer allowed me to schedule annual checkups with first-class physicians. My primary care doctor is Dr. Michael Monaco who recognized that I had lost 8% muscle mass and some atrophy in my calf muscles. Doctor… See more

from John in MO January 18, 2024 for Michael E. Monaco, MD

My Dr is Michael Monaco. He is an amazing Dr and a fantastic person. I also consider him a friend. I needed an Epidural a year ago and the insurance company wouldn’t allow that until I completed a MRI. Dr Mike called the pain clinic and explained my situation and I was at the pain clinic the next day getting a shot. That is just one of many examples of getting something accomplished… See more

from Marguerite in KS January 18, 2024 for Michael E. Monaco, MD

He takes his time with every appointment I have made with him. I do not feel rushed and he listens attentively.
I feel blessed to have him for my concierge Doctor.

from Rebecca in KS March 26, 2020 for Michael E. Monaco, MD

It's often stated, it's not what we have in life, but who we have that matters. Dr. Monaco has been my primary care doctor for about 20 years, so well before his MDVIP practice began. I didn't think twice about continuing as his patient. In about a month, I will be a 5 year cancer survivor. Dr. Monaco has been there for me with EVERY step of that journey - even went to my… See more

from Jeff in KS March 18, 2020 for Michael E. Monaco, MD

The Kansas City Chiefs are lucky to have Dr. Monaco as their team physician. I know first hand the dedication and commitment he has for his profession.

He is always quick to help out if I have a problem and has kept me in good health over the years.

The players and I aren't the only lucky ones. Years ago, my friend was suffering from severe medical problems. When Dr. Monaco… See more
